CONDUCTOR-PIPE FASTEN ER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 518,943, datedMay 1,1894.

Application filed January 4, 1 8 94. Serial ITO-495,618. (No model.)

T0 at whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES H. ELLER,a citizen of the United States,residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and usefulImprovements in Conductor-Pipe Fasteners;and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,making a part of this specification, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon, in which Figure 1, is a View, showing a portion of aconductor pipe properly attached. Fig. 2, is

an end view of the conductor "pipe, showing the fastener properlyapplied to the pipe. Figs. 3 and 4, are views, showing the joint ends oftwo'pipe sections. Fig. 5 is a transverse section of an octagonal pipe.Fig. 6, is an end view of the spike, showing the eccentric placed inposition to receive the flange of the pipe. Fig. 7, is an end view ofthe spike, showing the eccentric in position to hold or engage theflange of a pipe. is a perspective view, showing a portion of the spike,and itseocentric.

The present invention has relation to con: ductor pipe fasteners, and itconsists in the difierent parts, and combination of parts hereinafterdescribed, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all thefigures of the drawrugs.

In the accompanying drawings A, represents the pipe sections, which maybe formed of any desiredlength and size or shape, and as shown said pipesections are provided with the L shaped flanges a, which flanges areformed by bending a portion of the extended metal composing the pipesubstantially at right angles as illustrated in the drawings therebyproviding an extended flange, which extended flange is for the purposehereinafter described. The spike Bis formed of such a size, that whendriven into a wall, it will securely hold the pipe in proper position.

The outer end of the spike B, is provided with the driving headb; to oneside of which driving head is located the eccentric O, which eccentricis held in proper position by means of the rivet c or its equivalent.The eccenthe pipe proper has been placed in the desired position withreference to the spikes B, and their eccentrics, the arms d are turneduppward, thereby bringing the eccentric against the face of the flangeand under the right angled portion of said flange, thereby securing thepipe to the spikes.

It will be understood, that by my peculiar arrangement I am enabled toeasily remove old conductor pipes from the fasteners proper, and attachnew pipe thereto, without disturbing the spikes B.' Fig. 8,

For the purpose of causing the eccentric O to properly clamp the Lshaped flange, the arm of said eccentric is so located that it will beabove or on top of the eccentric, at the time the locking face of theeccentric is brought into contact with the flange; by which arrangementany downward movement of the conductor pipe will cause the eccentric tobe automatically forced against the flange, and thereby prevent anyaccidental displacement of the conductor pipe.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is- I In a conductor pipe fastener, thecombination of pipe sections provided with L shaped flanges, the spikesB, provided withdriving JAMES H. ELLER.
